On Indian Independence eve I’m reminded of Indian diaspora that I could see from @Space_Station where my immigrant father’s home town of Hyderabad shines bright. @nasa is just 1 place Indian Americans make a difference every day. Looking forward to @IndianEmbassyUS celebration pic.twitter.com/4eXWHd49q6

Space Kidz India had recently launched a satellite ‘AzaadiSat’. The satellite was built by 750 schoolgirls. Later the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) informed that the satellite got placed in an unstable orbit and is not usable anymore.
